Will You Sign Up for Xbox Music? [POLL]

Microsoft just pulled the wraps off its new music service, Xbox Music. It aims to deliver everything you could want in a music service, including music streaming, downloading and even radio. But will people use it?

That's the question we'd like you to answer. There are already a host of services that deliver what Xbox Music does, albeit typically just one part. Spotify, for example, lets you stream for free and on mobile for a monthly fee, plus it has radio, but it won't sell songs to you à la carte. iTunes, of course, will do that, but there's no subscription-streaming option.

Xbox Music offers up unlimited streaming on your Microsoft devices for $9.99 a month. Like Spotify, you can stream just to your Windows 8 PC for free (and with Windows 8 now including tablets, that opens up more possibilities than you might think). For a full run-down of Xbox Music, click here.

At the same time, Xbox Music is designed to work exclusively on Windows 8, as well as Microsoft's soon-to-launch Surface tablet and Xbox 360 machines. If you're on Android, iOS or even a Mac, you're out of luck for the moment, although social integration and a cloud-based locker are supposedly in the works.

Does Xbox Music offer enough to win over users? You tell us. Given what Microsoft has unveiled, do you think you'll be signing up for Xbox Music?
